Why not create an open-source alternative to ITIL?
,----[ Quote ]
| Consider: Open source isn't limited to software. It's a way to organize
| like-minded communities that create and refine pieces of intellectual
| property.
|
| It might not be possible or practical. On the other hand, a well-constructed
| framework that:
|
| * Takes into account not merely process but all of the factors needed for
| IT to be successful ...
| * Provides contextual guidance besides, to make clear where different
| solutions work and where they don't ...
| * Rejects the "Standard Model" as an underlying premise (it could
| certainly accept it as a situationally appropriate alternative) ...
|
| ... could be immensely valuable.

How I think Wikipedia works
,----[ Quote ]
| I have a mental model of how Wikipedia works and behaves. This may not
| reflect reality, but it is how I, as an end-user, expect Wikipedia to behave.
| I think these are reasonable expectations regarding things like standards of
| proof and balance and that if the real Wikipedia differs substantially from
| these expectations, then we have a problem.
|
| [...]
|
| Does anyone know whether the above statements have any basis in the
| aspirations or actual practice of Wikipedia editors and admins? Sadly, my
| recent reading of some articles suggests that these reasonable expectations
| are routinely flouted and bear little resemblance to reality.
